Gloved Touch

Fundraiser open!

• donate here!

Gloved Touch is an unofficial for-charity fanzine celebrating the canon dynamic and undeniable (subtle or not-so-subtle) love between Dr. Ivo Robotnik and Agent Stone across all three Sonic movie adaptations. This zine explores their evolving relationship through every latte, side-glance and chaotic spectacle, with a focus on heart, humor and unhinged devotion.
✦
Split into three chapters to honor each film, the main zine will be joined by a smaller, digital NSFW companion, called Ungloved Touch, for those craving even more. Contributions will be balanced across all movies, with room for participants to bring their favorite moments to life. Expect angst, longing, ridiculous plans and a finale that goes out with a bang :'D
